Downtown Laramie Offering Free Gift Wrapping up to Christmas
Yep, your read the headline right! If you need a little help getting your gifts wrapped up to go home and put under the tree help is just a short drive away.

Tour Laramie’s Best Christmas Lights [Guided City Map]
One of the great things I remember growing up was always taking a night or two around the holidays just driving around town with the family and looking at everyone's Christmas lights. It is still fun even today and there are some people in Laramie who have gone all out on their houses this year. We thought it would be nice to compile a map in conjunction with our holiday lights photo contest that would guide everyone through Laramie where we have found the best lights.
